NR 509 APEA NEUROLOGY EXAM WITH SATISFIED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: When conducting a neurologic exam, which one of the following assessments is not considered part of the mental status assessment? Level of alertnessCranial Nerve II (CNII) CorrectAppropriateness of responsesOrientation to time Explanation: When conducting a neurologic exam, mental status assessment should include evaluation of the level of alertness, appropriateness of responses, and orientation to person, place, and time. Assessing cran ial nerve II would be part of the cranial nerve assessment. Question: A mother reports to the nurse practitioner that her teenager might be taking drugs because earlier today the teenager had a mild seizure and now has an unstable gait and is beginning to complain of shortness of breath. These symptoms might be consistent with a possible overdose of: barbiturates.amphetamines. Correctmarijuana.opioids. Explanation: Amphetamines are central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. The teenager could exhibit signs of ataxia, respiratory distress, seizures, coma, myocardial infarction, death if he/she consumed this substance. Impaired memory, judgment, and attention, slurred speech, drowsiness, and irritability are suggestive of central nervous system depressants (CNS). Barbiturates, alcohol and benzodiazepines fall in this class. Opioids may cause euphoria, drowsiness, constricted pupils and some of the same symptoms as CNS depressants. Marijuana intoxication would present with relaxation, euphoria, detachment, talkativeness, slowed perception of time, and possible anxiety or paranoia. Question : Sudden, brief, rapid jerks, involving the trunk or limbs may be consistent with: a myoclonic seizure. Correct an absent seizure. a myoclonic atonic seizure. a focal seizure with impairment of consciousness. Explanation: A patient experiencing a myoclonic seizure manifests sudden, brief, rapid jerks, involving the trunk or limbs. A sudden brief lapse of consciousness with momentary blinking, staring, or movements of the lips and hands but no falling is consistent with an absent seizure. During a myoclonic atonic seizure, the patient experiences a sudden loss of consciousness with falling but no movements. Injury may occur. Focal seizures with impairment of consciousness the person appears confused. Automatisms include automatic motor behaviors such as chewing, smacking the lips, walking about, and unbuttoning clothes. Question : Which of the following neurological assessment findings indicate the need for further evaluation? Lifting one foot and then the other when the infant is held upright with the feet touching a solid surface Fanning and hyperextension of the toes when the sole is stroked upward from the heel Grasping a finger placed in the neonate's palm Weak and ineffective sucking movements Correct Explanation: Weak and ineffective sucking movements would indicate the need for further evaluation since any weak, absent, asymmetrical or fine jumping movements would suggest neurological system disorders. The other choices represent common reflexes found in the normal newborn : Babinski, grasping, and stepping. Question : An example of proximal weakness is: the right shoulder. Correct the right hand. both arms. Incorrect
